by

In an interview with The Street, John Nahas spilled the tea on how Avalanche is expanding its empire across traditional finance and global brands. When asked about what’s fueling this growth, Nahas got all philosophical, saying it’s about building blockchains tailored for specific use cases. “If you hyper-focus on crypto Twitter trends that last for, like, three seconds, you’re always going to be the last one at the party,” he quipped. 🎉

I was so excited for season two of Percy Jackson, but then I heard they were adding a brand new character—one that wasn’t in the books at all! A lot of fans immediately hated the idea, and honestly, I was a little worried too. I tried to stay hopeful, though, and see how it would play out.

The trailer begins with Stewart playing a famous actor who decides he wants to join the military, but his celebrity status makes people hesitant. “Shouldn’t I have the same right to serve as anyone else?” he asks, speaking with a blend of American and his natural New Zealand accent.

The afterparty at The National Arts Club continued the New York love, with Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani chatting with Fran Drescher. Over by the catering – a whole roasted pig with an orange in its mouth instead of an apple – the Shark Tank crew celebrated Kevin O’Leary. The orange was a playful nod to the film’s focus on branding and visual themes.
